1 Youlden Street, Kensington, VIC 3031

Skirting the historic bluestone Stock Route in a precinct bringing leafy quiet to the inner-city verve, this dual-frontage, double-storey prize offers considered comfort with turnkey appeal. At the end of a no-through street wrapped in the calm of its evergreen park setting, the home proves comfortable from day one, delivering space and functionality perfect for professionals and a family alike. A sizeable master enjoys a chic ensuite, built-in desk, and northern balcony, joined upstairs by scenic second and third bedrooms, extensive storage, and a revamped central bathroom with a bath/shower. With a relaxing lounge in its own front domain, a storage-rich kitchen serves a wide-open rear living/dining area, flowing through bi-folds to a wonderfully private, side-accessed deck great for Sunday barbecue or drinks before a night on the town. Accompanied by impressive investment credentials, the abode's other highlights include reverse-cycle heating/cooling, evaporative cooling upstairs, durable floors, under-stair storage, a downstairs powder room, combined laundry/butler's pantry, and carport. Right on the cusp of Newmarket and its Woolworths, multicultural shopping and cuisine, trendy bars and cafes, and trains reaching the city in 3 stops, it's only metres to parks, childcare, and Kensington (zoned), Holy Rosary, and St Brendan's Primary Schools, along with the market-bound 57 Tram, CityLink, and ever-vibrant Kensington Village.
